Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss The Home Run

So does that mean you're all moved in already?

Yes. Fishing on the backyard right now.

With Droid in hand. Check my facebook page.

Well have you caught anything????

Three largemouth, two catfish, two hybrids, five bluegill.

Found em huh?

I've been out a handful of times this year, all with Alex. Kinda funny, we never hooked up once on open water.

Hey, how thick is the ice since our little heat wave?

It's still a solid nine inches. Weather did not seem to affect it.

Good deal. I figured it wouldn't effect the thickness too much, but might create a lot of slushy mess on top of the ice.

The Conderosa has been sold.

It's official. All except the closing, which seems pre-ordained.

So I went fishing at the new place to try to ease the pain.

Evidently there will be some good fishing opportunities at The Quarry as well.

22.25 inches on a flat ruler with mouth closed.
Bounced between 6.96 and 7.03 on an accurate digital scale.

nice!!!!

Looks similar to another photo of you holding a monster bass from Richmond Mill. Congrats at the sale. I'm sure you will miss the place.

door closes, window opens...
A new chapter, well on it's way, Bruce. Make sure your tank is full; ya got alot of miles ahead of ya.

Awesome, Bruce! Congrats on the sale, indeed. I can imagine it's kind of tough to see it go, but as Brettski said, new opportunities about at that beautiful place you have in the works!

I fully intend on returning to a more active role on this site soon. I love the people, the message, and the generous and caring community that Pond Boss, and our mentor Bob Lusk have created. My life is a whirling, swirling, exciting ride right now that allows me virtually no free time. But with the help of my buddies here, I hope to get some of my freedom back within less than a year.

I'd like to have a regional Pond Boss meeting at my house next year.

Who's in?

I guarantee it will be a party to remember.

there goes the neighborhood

OK, Bruce...we are well aware of, and appreciate, your humble character and personality. It's time to ditch that hooey and cut loose with some well-earned bragging and showing off. We want pics...lotsa pics. Inside, outside, looking out over the water, looking up from the water, whatever. Time to show off, my man. Give us a show.

I'm sure the place looks immaculate by now and you should be proud of that fine property of yours. It's amazing. Bruce, we've only met a handful of times, so you don't know me very well, but if I can take anything off your plate (maybe learn something in the process) so that you can be around here more, I would love to. And when this shindig goes down, I will pat the patrons down for fireworks.

Please tell me that you didn't land that monster on a Condello rig and four pound line.

Four pound line, yes.

But with a bluegill pattern, deep-diving Rapala--fished REALLY slow.

I was also in a float tube.

...enjoying the ride around the lake before I reeled him in

Bruce, yours was definitely fatter than the one my daughter caught last summer at the new place...Her's was a little longer, but hurting for food. Caught on 6# test Berkley Fire Wire braid with a nightcrawler targeting Channel Cats.

Big head on that fish. Definitely starving.

There are two distinct groupings of 20-22 inch bass.

There are old fish that are in decline that weight 3.5 to 4.5 pounds, and there are the younger fish that have caught up, and are thriving. These fish are 5.0 to 7.0 pounds. Out with the old, and in with the new.
